Hi all,
I have a little strange problem...
I've read threads people report they have a problem with the touch screen calibration (gets jittery, activates parts of the screen without touching them, etc.) when they charge their SG2, but when they disconnect it the problem is solved.
Well, I have it all backwards.
When my phone is charging, it acts fine. When I disconnect it, the touch calibration gets all funky.
Any ideas on what to do?
Some specs:
It's a I9100G, and I recently went to a phone lab and changed my screen (got broke). Running CM10.1 latest nightly.
Thanks in advance!

So I'm getting my girlfriends fascinate from her since she got an Incredible 2. The only little problem is the screen doesn't work. A little background on the problem. She woke the phone up and the screen no longer displayed all of the picture. Very little of it can be seen and it is discolored. The actual touch screen works though, you can unlock the phone if you can navigate the lock screen. The phone was dropped in water a week prior to this however it still worked fine up until the screen problem. Does this sound like just replacing the screen would fix the problem or do you think there's a deeper problem?
Hi,
I have a touch screen problem with seems like if the screen "feels" a non-existing touch so that when I actually touch it with my finger it activates pinch-zoom mode.
The problem appeared after I left a phone on a shelf switched off for about 1.5 month waiting for a new battery to arrive. When I switched it on with a new battery the mess started.
Tried the old battery, factory reset. The problem persists, sometimes right after boot, sometimes 1-2 min after boot.
From searching the forum I understand the most common problem with Hero screen it bottom freeze, but that's not my case and I couldn't find problems similar to mine.
Thanks for help in advance.
Hi everybody,
Recently I've been encountering a problem where my streak won't respond to any touches after I open the screen. Pressing the power button and waking the phone up again does not solve the problem. I've read about the static issue, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case here as the problem still occurs even when my streak isn't in my pocket.
Oddly enough, rebooting the phone solves the issue temporarily. The touchscreen will work perfectly until I turn the screen off again, but when I turn the screen back on, the phone doesn't seem to register any touches. The phone itself works fine as it still receives notifications even when the touchscreen is unresponsive.
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
I'm currently on DSC 2.2 and baseband 366. I'm going to try a factory reset right now to see if any will improve.
Thanks!
Edit: did a factory reset, problem is still occurring
I have the same problem, does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

Have you tried recalibrating your touch screen from the dell menu?
Its option 3, worked for me a few days ago.

Yeah I have. I'm currently assuming it's a hardware issue since I've reverted back to a stock rom along with several other custom roms but the touchscreen still remained unresponsive after waking it up. I'm hypothesizing its a bad connection somewhere, especially if the display and touch sensor wake up separately. Does anybody know anything about this and whether it can be repaired?
On the other hand, I might be completely wrong...
I noticed that some bags for DS5 produce static electricity, such as the original Dell Bag (Futon bag - ?)
The Leather Bag (with red fissure) does not produce static electricity even when having the DS5 in trousers.

I had this problem once, pried and screwed the Streak open, checked connection ribbons, and cleaned it with (a little bit) electric contact spray. This has saved my irresponsive power button as well! Success:good:
Hey Guys,
I am having a big problem with my device. The touch is not working. I have been flashing various roms on my phone and after playing with many roms, i finally flashed stock rom into my phone and flashed a stock ics based rom. Everything was working fine until one day my touch was not working well. I switched off the phone and turned it on and the touch was right back on. Again, things were smooth until this issue happened quite frequently. The problem was solved after turning off the phone and powering it off. After some time, the problem again started to come. At this point, the touch was not working COMPLETELY.
I was scared and immedaitly flashed the stock rom. During the initial boot, everything was working fine. But, when i locked the screen and tried to use the phone after some time, the same problem occured again.
So friends, my question is, Is this a software related problem or a hardware related problem. If this is a h/w related problem, is there any point in touch working during some time and not working later? ( Now, touch stopeed working completely). Will any tutorial on this forum about bricked touchscreen (after flashing wrong rom, which i am sure i didn't) will help me solve this problem?
I am awaiting for your valued input as this is the phone that i use for all my communication needs.
Kindly help me
Thanks
Well, if stock didn't solve it, there's a chance it's a hw issue. If you look closely, "touchscreen brick" guides are meant for the mini and the lww (touch digitizer separated from display), not the mini pro (touch digitizer and display as one assembly).
And yes, there are situations where your touch digitizer might cease to function for a few seconds then respond after a while, and sometimes it stops working completely after the next reboot (or forever). It happened to me with a deffective replacement part.

Thanks for your reply.......
I guess it is indeed an hardware issue. My phone used to reboot when i slide my keyboard out fast. The screen gets dimmed out and the phone immediatly restarts. Last few days before the problem worsened it was overheating also.
Can you suggest me which hardware part i should change to rectify the touch issue? Awaiting for your reply
Thanks a lot
Ok your problem seems to be worse than expected. A faulty touchscreen shouldn't cause sudden reboots. I'd say it's a flex ribbon issue.
Try to get a replacement flex ribbon and test it extensively before installing it on your phone. Replacing the flex might be enough to solve all of your problems. If any of the problems persist with a new flex, you'll need a new screen assembly (quite expensive at 35~50 bucks).
Hello everyone, this happened just today. I was using my galaxy alpha AT&T and all of a sudden the screen starting glitching and jumping. I was quite shocked because I bought this phone a few days ago. Although the phone is not brand new but the vendor told me that it's completely fine. Anyhow, I pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds then turned the screen back on. This time the screen was fine but after a few seconds of usage the problem started again. Now i read on the internet that this is not a screen issue but rather its associated with phone's charging port but I'm not sure. And another interesting thing is that the screen shots are completely fine and there are no signs of glitching or flickering. Secondly also note that I was experiencing the famous "cannot charge because battery is too cold!" message and I believe that this problem is also associated with the charging port. So please if anyone is familiar with this problem then guide me. Here a video link that shows what's happening to my screen

If you have the screen on the lowest bright setting the flickering will continue. Once I put it back on auto or at a slightly higher level the flickering went away. That's at least what fixed mine.

I've never had encounter this kind of problem. Your problem is too severe. I think it is related to the hardware.
